themainframe | 001 - Thank you for nothing, you useless Digimon (Video)

[There is a bit of static before a video flickers into life, and the first thing anyone watching is going going to see will be a large green eye staring right into the screen. It blinks a few times before the video is turned on its side and a loud voice can be heard, slightly muffled and stat-icy since it's so close to the microphone.]

Alright Hic, you're the one who's savvy with the techo-gizmos and what not. Is this thing on?

[There's a pause and a little shaking as the D-Terminal swaps hands- rather, Hiccup has to practically yank it out of Gomamon's claws.]

It looks like it's on. And I told you, I....I've never seen anything like this before. Not on Berk at least..

[He holds the little device gingerly and at a distance so he and Gomamon can actually be visible. Gomamon is sitting on Hiccup's head pretty much, with his flippers almost flopped over into his face.]

Great! Now can I hold it, pleease? Nobody can see me from way up here!

Hold on a sec Gomamon. I wanted to- hey! No, wait--!!

[Suddenly there's a rush of colors and then a burst of static and a loud rattling noise as the D-Terminal collides with the ground. Faint bickering can be heard, and if anyone is still paying attention they might catch a glimpse of Hiccup's feet- er, foot- before he has a chance to pick the device back up, quickly looking it over for damage.]

Aaaugh, at this rate I'm going to be the only one with half working devices..

Hmph. Not my fault you're clumsy.

[Hiccup sighs heavily and looks back at the screen, trying to ignore Gomamon.]

Look, does anyone know what we're exactly supposed to...do next? Because I'm obviously not getting much help here.

Hey! You watch your mouth kid, or I'll give ya somethin' to complain about!!

[Kyouko can admire such independence]

Would you like to pool information when we're both done?

Edited 2013-04-05 05:37 (UTC)

That...actually sounds like a great idea, yeah! Maybe we'll get somewhere then.

[Hesitation]

I'm used to working alone. But I know we'll cover more ground if we at least share what we find.

I understand. But you're right. And any information at all is better than none, right?

After all, we're all in this situation together, right?

[. . . those words felt strange to say. But she had to believe them]

Of course. ...and I'd rather be with someone than totally on my own.

[Sooooo totally not used to being "foolishly honest." But it was what got her and the others through Hope's Peak, so there's no point in not trying the method here]

Well, you wouldn't be alone. You'd have your partner.

Edited 2013-04-05 07:06 (UTC)

...With my partner, I might as well be alone.

[Hiccup dodges the swipe Gomamon makes at his head, even though it's feeble at best.]

Aaahh you'd be lost without me, ya big dumb.

Unhelpful, is he?

[but her mouth twitches in amusement]

You could say that.

Psssh, like you're turnin' out to be the best partner out of all the Chosen, smarty pants.

You should be nice to your partner!

[The voice comes from offscreen, and clearly belongs to Labramon]

He's there to help you, after all!

I am being nice. I just wish he'd return the favor once and a while. Or...actually HELP me.

Feelin' the love, Hic!

Ooooh, maybe it is love. Tough love! Love filled with bickering like a wed couple.

[Kyouko's only response to that was to give Labramon a skeptical look]

[Hiccup stiffens and he can feel Gomamon slip a bit on his shoulder, having to dig his claws into his vest to keep from just sliding right off.]

..That is absolutely NOT it.

[Kyouko places a hand on Labramon's head, shoving her out of the video feed for now]

I believe she was just speaking metaphorically.

...Eeeither way...

[The viking sighs, running a hand down the side of his face.]

Might be best if we get off of that subject.

I wonder how our partner digimon were chosen for us?

You know that....that's a good question, actually.

[Because for some reason, Hiccup can't help but think he got the wrong Digimon when they chose.]

Perhaps we could ask Izumi-kun. I admit, I'm curious.

It's worth a try, I guess.

Anything is worth a try.
